    Default Where to Start on Guild Wars

    I want to play Guild Wars but I don't know where to start.

    I am a level 16 Ranger/Elementalist with no money at all.

    I want to PvP.

    What gear do I get and how do I get it??

    I only have the original campaign, no expansions or additional campaigns.

    Do I need other campaigns to get the best gear/skills?

    Thanks in advance, Hiryu.

    Wow okay, a lot of questions...

    - Complete the campaign your on or at least level up to the cap, 20.

    - If you want to PvP, there are plenty of ways for you to do so.
    - Go here to research all the different ways to pvp and which you should participate in: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Pvp

    - All of the gear is the same in terms of armor and stats, so just get whatever you think is coolest. Here are all of the armor sets for rangers: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Ranger_armor (A lot of the gear is not accessible by the campaign you're on, since there are 3 others)

    - You can do [fine] with just the Prophecies campaign, but to gain access to all of the skills, you have to buy the other campaigns. Same goes for armor. This may not be a problem if your build doesn't require skills from other campaigns, but odds are it does.

    - I suggest you find a guild that helps new players

    Good luck!

    So the gear I get on Prophecies has the same stats as others? What about like jewelry and stuff?

    Thanks.

    Yeah Factions is where it's at, PvP-wise. FvF is too much fun

    Need to like write an article explaining everything about GW and save it. Then just copy and paste it into our weekly (or daily?) GW question threads.

    I love the FvF on Factions. I always play Jade Quarry. Aspenwood is too X_X for me. I just hate how Aspenwood makes Luxon always offensive. They should have made Aspenwood random on who goes offensive and who goes defensive. And no, I don't want to be a Kurzick.
